WHAT IS KINGS LEAGUE?

A new sport built on seven-a-side football.

Kings League is a fast-paced competition based on seven-a-side football, with special rules designed to keep every minute unpredictable.

A UNIQUE KICK-OFF

At the signal, both teams race toward the ball dropped from a cage above the center of the pitch.
